About phpwiki: URLs

A special type of URL is available for making links to perform administrative and other special functions in Php Wiki. Here is a brief description of how they work.

The basic syntax of a phpwiki: URL is phpwiki:__''pagename''?__''query-args''

If ''pagename'' is omitted it defaults to the current page.

''Query-args'' should be a set of parameters in standard HTTP GET format.

The "action=''x''" parameter should almost always be given. It can be one of browse, info, diff, search, edit, zip, dumpserial, loadserial, remove, lock, unlock, login, logout, setprefs or save. The default action is browse.

Some of the actions accept other parameters.

;__info__: Accepts showpagesource. ;__search__: Accepts searchterm, and searchtype. ;__edit__: Accepts version. ;__remove__: Accepts verify. ;__save__: Accepts editversion, minor_edit, and content. ;__setprefs__: Accepts edit_area_width, edit_area_height.

Writing Magic Links in Wiki Pages

A magic link looks like:

[ ''text'' ?

The "''text'' __|__" is optional but usually recommended. If given it will provide the label for the link.

The ''phpwiki-url'' is a phpwiki: URL as described above.

Some examples

[ Edit the !Sand Box ? will generate a link which will take you directly to editing the Sand Box, like so: Edit the Sand Box ?.

Other possibilites:

• Diff the Sand Box ?,
• Lock the Home Page ?,
• Get a Full Zip Dump ?,
• Page titles containing 'wiki' ?,

Writing Magic Forms in Wiki Pages

Magic forms are no longer supported. They have been superceded by <''''?plugin-form?>s (for text searches) and by the Wiki Form Plugin? (for files uploads, etc.)
